I am getting about 28,000 groups from mci. 8.5-9.5 gigs a day is a good number, if you toss a lot of the warez stuff. Of course it would be half that if people didn't use silly clients that did things in HTML for no reason. Sigh; too bad that wouldn't really make a difference. Dropping the largest 1% of posts would cut the volume in half though.
